How the two products were graded:
Fossilized Coral Calcium:
Fossilized coral calcium is collected from coral mines that were pushed above sea many years ago.
Marine Coral is basically sand which contains a mixture of coral, sea shells, silica, rock, and sea life. It is exhumed from the ocean bottom via a 250' industrial dredging ship lowering a large pipe to the bottom of the ocean and vacuuming. We photographed this procedure on a recent trip to Okinawa. This process brings hundreds of tons of sand, coral, shells, marine flora and fauna to the ship deck. There is no way of separating sand from coral hence marine coral is a mixture which would be more accurately named "coral sand". It is not a matter of carefully harvesting bits of coral as they fall from the reef due to currents and fish munching on it, as is portrayed on some web sites.
Ionized Calcium:
The reason coral calcium is able to absorb 100% is because it is ionized - otherwise known as bio available. This means that it is very easily digested.
According to Professor Yoshino Yamauchi of the Aragonite Institute of Japan:
"The ionization process of the aragonite fossil Coral is 6 times greater than that of calcite. Fossil coral calcium is also much greater in electrical conductivity...it is capable of entering into an immediate chemical reaction whenever it is required by the body."
Trace Minerals:
Since Barefoots coral calcium has to be heat treated at over 1000 degrees, many essential trace elements are destroyed.
Fossilized coral calcium does not need to be heat treated and has over 74 naturally occurring trace minerals.
Calcium : Magnesium:
Both products have a 2:1 ratio. This allows the coral calcium to digest more efficiently.
Collection Process:
Barefoots coral calcium is collected from the oceans floor. He claims this is better because there is an abundance of marine microbes, when in fact those microbes are destroyed after the product has been heat treated at over 1000 degrees.
Most of the raw materials dredged from the ocean bottom is used for industrial purposes such as cinder blocks and road building materials, but a small portion is sold to a company called Marine Bio for human use - named "marine coral calcium."
Free of Pollutants:
Thousands of years ago fossilized coral was a thriving coral reef. Geologically, coral was pushed up above-sea level, free from the ocean pollution of the industrial era.
Marine coral calcium has been exposed to various pollutants from large ocean ships and fishing boats.
Environmentally Safe:
Since the collection process of fossilized coral calcium involves extracting the substance from a mine, it is completely safe for the environment.
Private Study
There have been a number of clinical studies done on coral calcium, in Japan. It is a product that begs to have testing done, here in American. In most of the studies coral calcium was compared to carbonate (limestone), and dairy. The summary conclusion of the studies are:
- Coral Calcium has been shown to be the superior calcium source in regard to absorption and bone density.
- Coral Calcium has been show to promote the increase of bone mass to a larger degree, when compared to land source carbonate.
- Coral Calcium when compared to Calcium Carbonate is proven to have a superior absorption rate of Calcium, and Magnesium in a ratio of 5 : 1
- Acktiva coral calcium contains a natural 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio.
The mineral rich natural coral grains, have been proven to be the superior calcium source. Certified as "food grade" by the Japanese government, this mineral power house is essential to good health. Replenishing the mineral profile and balancing the bodies ph, Coral Calcium is having remarkable results. The fact's are in.
Is Acktiva Safe ?
Yes, acktiva coral calcium is 100% safe. The Journal of the American Medical Association published results from a study administered by the University of Florida.
The study found that many of the the popular calcium supplements contained lead. Acktiva coral calcium was not one of them. In high doses, lead can cause serious health problems such as brain damage.
Are there any known side effects?
No serious side effects have been found. Although, if you take 5-10 times the recommended daily dosage - you may experience:
-
Loss of appetite
-
Dry mouth
-
Continuing headache
-
Increased thirst
If you take the recommended daily dosage you will not experience these symptoms.
